Today is two weeks since my sleeve surgery and I'm not feeling confident in my diet. I'm currently on the pureed diet at around 800 to 900 calories per day and roughly 70 to 90 grams of protein per day. I don't feel I'm overdoing it (no pain) and my doctor didn't seem concerned at my one week post-op check up, but every other source I look at says I shouldn't be getting close to 900 calories until about six months in. In the two weeks since surgery I've lost 15lbs. Occasionally I feel suddenly very full and have to slow it down more, but no dumping syndrome or anything like that.
Am I overthinking it? If it's relevant I'm male, 42, 5' 11", 224 lbs and currently doing 30 minutes on the elliptical daily.
Feeling very anxious about it all. 😮💨
PS: My BMI started in the "Class II Obesity" category and I pushed hard to lose a lot of weight in the four months before surgery.
